Thanks to the unique way social media censors the truth I will put the post that was originally on my page here. As a Journalist I find it extremely disturbing that a platform is censoring news and my views were deemed worthy of deletion.
Halle Germany.
A psychopath killed two people outside a synagogue in the eastern German city of Halle on Wednesday, filming his attack on a head-mounted camera and live streaming it in a method that was reminiscent of the attack on two New Zealand mosques earlier this year.
His firearms were homemade.
Below is from his “manifesto”.
His ammunition was homemade using even cardboard casings in some instances.
His pipe bombs were homemade.
Can we now admit that gun control doesn’t stop a madman with murderous intent?
Can we now admit it isn’t the object but rather the person using it that is the problem?
I will say it once more, these firearms are homemade, the ammunition is homemade, his explosives are homemade.
He successfully managed to kill 2 innocent people even with his crude ammunition and makeshift firearms.
You cannot legislate your way to safety by assuming the guilt of every citizen.
Your gun control failed.
The German news media is reporting today that as a result of the shooting in Halle, German politicians believe increased scrutiny/restrictions on firearms owners and prospective firearms owners are in order. They want the German Federal Police to check for "right-wing extremist" ties & tendencies for people who have or apply for weapons permits. See the article from the Frankfurt newspaper here:

So- the guy made his own weapons, and the German government blocks out the part that they were illegally obtained (homemade). Then the German government uses the episode to move forward with still more gun control to make it harder to buy firearms legally.
They will use any excuse to advance a gun ban!
